Dear Mr. Seligmann:

As you may have heard, Aubrey S. Eban, who will be the guest of honor at the forthcoming Stephen S. Wise Memorial Dinner on June 19th to which you have been invited, was named Israel Ambassador to the United States a few days ago.

The dinner thus offers us an opportunity to congratulate him on this appointment as well as on his distinguished past service as chief delegate of Israel to the United Nations. In view of the very helpful way in which Mr. Eban has joined in many of our community activities during his stay here, we do hope you will come and help make this meeting an impressive one.

The occasion is an important one, too, in terms of the United Jewish Appeal campaign, on whose behalf the dinner in memory of Rabbi Wise is being sponsored by the American Jewish Congress. It will be held on Monday, June 19th at 6:30 P.M. at the Hotel Plaza.

Won't you please advise that you will attend? I am enclosing a reply card for your convenience.

Cordially,
